When did you start swimming? How did you get started? What teams or clubs have you swum with?

 

I started swimming when I was 11 or 12 after randomly deciding I�d swim on the Sholem Sharks Swim Team one summer. After I did that for two years I decided to try year round swimming with the Aquachiefs until they merged with Heat.

 

 

What are your college plans? Will you swim? What will you major in?

 

I have narrowed down my choices for colleges to Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, IL or Carthage College in Kenosha, WI. I still have not decided whether or not I will swim in college. I am planning on majoring in Spanish with the intention of teaching High-school Spanish.

 

What have you learned from swimming?

 

I have learned that hard work really does pay off, and you just have to work through the pain.

 

What is your favorite swimming memory?

 

My favorite swimming memory would have to be the times we played Big Red Ball as a high-school swimming team.

 

What is your favorite event? Least favorite?

 

My favorite event is a 500 Free. My least favorite event being the 200 Free Relay since when I swim it at a dual meet I just finished swimming the 500 Free.
